Hello everyone. If your weight has ever stalled what was the length of your longest stall? I'm about 9 weeks out and this past month I have only lost about 3 pds. I actually gained 3 pds last week or it would have been 6. I'm starting to get discouraged and when that happens I go for what comforts me....food. I don't want to sabotage myself so I'm looking for support from those that have experienced the same thing. Thanks in advance.

This stall should not last long maybe a week or two. I'm 7 months out and have been stalled for a month. I'm not getting frustrated though because I know I will start to lose again. I can tell Ive lost in inches. Make sure you are keeping up with that also because usually it happens when you are not losing lbs. Good luck. oh and make sure you are drinking all the water you are required to drink daily it does make a difference.

I have been going round the same 3-4 pounds for about 5 weeks I think. but I am getting smaller, fitting into clothes that did not fit me a few weeks ago. so, it's weird. but find your comfort in other ways. check your nutrition to make sure you're where you should be and just tell the scale to shut up

I had my surgery 6 months ago and I've only lost 30lbs...I've been stalled this will be the 9th week and I don't know what to do to break this stall. I follow all the guidelines with eating and drinking. I've increased my calories and lowered my calories and increased them again. AND NOTHING! I'm so discouraged and upset.

What does a typical day look like in terms of food?

All calories do not effect your body the same way. What do you eat?

Embracing the stall doesn't apply to everything and it patronizing and dismissive to just drop it in every stall thread.

Sorry you feel that way.

If someone is allowing themselves to turn to food because they are frustrated by a stall, which is a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight, then I think it is applicable.

I am not being dismissive, I am just tired.

What is your exercise routine? The sleeve alone isn't a cure. If you're exercising maybe you've plateaued on your routine. Switch it up

I totally agree. I am personally tired of a number on a scale determining my level of happiness that day. I let it go. Your weight will stall...that is the reality. Everything said here doesn't need a cyber hug or smiley emoji. Grow up and deal with it, ppl.

I will also volunteer and be the teller of unpopular truths: if you have a 9-month stall, it is time to reevaluate your diet and/or step it up in the gym. This applies to me as much as anyone else in here.
